野步 – (清)赵翼
峭寒催换木棉裘,倚杖郊原作近游。
最是秋风管闲事,红他枫叶白人头。
Night Walk by Zhao Yi (Qing Dynasty)
A cotton-lined robe is urged by the biting air,
To the nigh outskirt a cane aids my walk with care.
The most prying person is none but autumn wind,
Who’d fain redden the maples and whiten my hair.
V2.
To the biting air a cotton-lined coat complies
To the nigh outskirt on a cane my walk relies.
The most prying person is none but autumn wind,
The maples red and my hair white it keenly dyes.
